Carolyn Stair Phillips

When I first came to Christian Family Chapel back in the early 1990's,I had the privilege of being in a small group ladies Bible study led by Carolyn. Her love for God and other women was so obvious. When struggling with deep heart felt issues I went to her. I knew she would be able to shed truth & light into my struggles. She was a so full of wisdom, a bright beacon of God's love and goodness. I am so thankful that God placed her in my life. She was real blessing to me. I really loved this...

Heartfelt condolences from first cousin Nancy Hardin Haggard, Morristown TN.
Carolyn's mother Claire Griffin Stair and my mother Betty Griffin Hardin were sisters.
I have very fond memories of visiting them often in Oak Ridge, Tn. I remember all of Carolyn's children when they were small and exactly how that house looked. You children are grown now with children of your own, but you had a special Mother and wonderful grandparents. She had truly loved and shared God's grace. May God...

Dear sweet Carolyn, God's Beloved!!
I will forever be thankful to God for the gift of Carolyn I was a young 19 year old engaged girl when I began my friendship with Carolyn. She welcomed me into her home and into her heart.

I began to sit in Carolyn's living room week after week as she and Ann Sherer poured out the gospel to a room full of messy and beloved women. She...

I remember the day Barry Leventhal announced that Carolyn Phillips would be in charge of Women's ministry to a young small church at Bolles school. Over Carolyn's time in ministry she took a twig and build a beautiful flowering, fragrant, fruit tree with her ministry. I was fortunate in being counseled; in her Bible studies. What a true friend she became. She made such a difference in my life as a young wife and mother. Carolyn was there through the good and bad times. She will be...

Thank you for sharing your mother with countless women. I had the privilege of being mentored by her for the Mending Hearts ministry. She taught me how to really care for other women right where they are in life. She also had a profound impact on men. To this very day when my husband's softer, more vulnerable side arises he attributes it to having known and been loved by Carolyn. She's such a Lady in every sense of the word, always living out of her God given dignity, modeling to younger...

Remembering your great love story today and always.
